Production
Development
In October 2015, YouTube announced YouTube Red, its paid subscription ad service that would offer subscribers an ad-free experience, which would also allow users to download videos for offline viewing. In addition, the service would be launching original content exclusive to YouTube Red subscribers in 2016.
On June 23, 2016, YouTube announced that "Foursome" was renewed for a second season. The first two episodes of the second season aired on December 6, 2016.
On May 1, 2017, AwesomenessTV announced that "Foursome" was renewed for a third season. The entire season was released on November 1, 2017. Logan Paul was removed from the upcoming fourth season on January 10, 2018, in the wake of a video Paul uploaded that attracted widespread criticism. The Alec Fixler role was completely written out without a replacement actor.
Due to the extreme backlash to Logan Paul's controversial YouTube video, viewership took a deep dive, resulting in low ratings which eventually resulted in the show getting axed on May 27, 2019.
